VIDEO RECORDING EXCERPT

Date

2018-2019

Three performances have been recorded, which have taken place in triangular-based spaces and through direct contact. In each, a duel is enacted between production and consumption of two desiring bodies. The paired contenders, confined within a restrictive territory, mirror a system of desire and fate which constantly moves and consumes itself.

They compete in a triangulation of desire, reality, and expectation. Repetitive actions create a flow between production and interruption. Production takes place, it is consumed, aimless, maintaining the bodies’ survival and its value.

The actors wear neutral white uniformed attires and abstract masks, a take on the classical Greek Tragedy. By eliminating their identities, they transform their bodies into neutral territories struggling for dominance. The structure becomes the battleground, where the action eventuates in a sterilization of external appearances.

These operations pave the way for the undifferentiated, a possibility of equality as a transgression against the standard or an erosion on differential qualities. Production flows to only record counter-production—a duel for difference where difference is not allowed. Each contender alternates dominant and submissive roles, a futile competition in an eternal struggle for bringing equality forth.
